Police say a costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a Winnipeg home during a Halloween party by a man who thought she was a skunk.

Winnipeg police say the girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume and a black hat with a white tassel. Chief Ronald Leindecker told the Winnipeg Times that a male relative mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder, arm, back and neck Saturday night.

If Shuttleworth and Canonical want to keep some projects quiet until they're ready for show and tell, they're just doing what many Linux distributors have done long before them. Instead of wasting time and energy on who's more open than someone else, all the Linux developers should be focusing their attention on developing the best possible operating system. Arguing like this only benefits Linux's operating system rivals: Mac OS X and Windows and doesn't help Linux, or any of its distributions.

Except that the scientists actually told people there was no danger. That's quite a bit different than "failing to predict an earthquake". It would be like you coming to my auto shop asking me to do a safety check on your car and I tell you there are no issues and then you drive away and get into an accident due to a fault in the vehicle. Would you really just shrug your shoulders and go "Oh well you can't predict everything"?

Nobody anywhere ever been a killed by a earthquake . We a listen to the science people , they tell thing wrong. Our shacks, they collapse. Our goats, they run off. My 200 cousins, all die. I put a my hands on my head and I cry , like a woman. Mamma mia!!!!

Look, he's clearly a crazy, bigoted jackass, what more is there to manipulate him into exposing about himself?

- He fully supports Stallman's views on pedophilia.- He supports anyone that uses the open source development model, no matter how many people they've killed or helped kill.- He refuses to type Microsoft.- He grows pineapples in his "server" room.- He collects plant life contrary to provincial law (the pine cone cooking post).

What more can be done shy of registering at Linux Insider to point these things out during the Crazy Cat Lady's "interviews" with him?

Look, he's clearly a crazy, bigoted jackass, what more is there to manipulate him into exposing about himself?

So, trolling an old guy to make him look bad, got it.

- He fully supports Stallman's views on pedophilia.

Stallman is a crazy liberal, he's concerned with young people (not kids) who are in love, but must hide it and he - in a proper autistic manner - ignores the much more prevalent case of emotional exploitation.

- He supports anyone that uses the open source development model, no matter how many people they've killed or helped kill.

Pretending IBM is the only company that dealt with the Nazis, or the only company that knew what went on is ridiculous - all western industry supported Germany, sometimes even after the war started and they all knew about Nazi policies.

It's no different today, any tyrant can buy weapons and any goods that he needs, the only exception is nuclear tech, that didn't stop Israel or South Africa though.

- He refuses to type Microsoft.

Irrelevant.

- He grows pineapples in his "server" room.

Does he? But anyway, who cares what some old geezer does, it's his house and his life.

- He collects plant life contrary to provincial law (the pine cone cooking post).

Shows you're a city shirt, anyone who actually spends time in nature collects plant life, from mushrooms to berries of all kinds and many other things.

Very rarely do people care about such government regulation, it's made by ignorant bureaucrats who usually don't have a clue about what they are regulating, since they've never lived outside of a city, their attempts of nature preservation are often pure nonsense.

Just so you know which programmes for kids are racist and which aren't:

- The Backyardigans - all the Backyardigans appear to be either negroes or hispanic, e.g. "Tyrone", "Pablo", "Uniqua". Clearly racist, do not let your children watch this filth.

- Super Why! - you know there's a problem when the only white character in a programme is a pig. The other characters are all hispanic, black or asian and are all depicted as human beings. I shouldn't need to tell you: don't let your children watch this racist, anti-white garbage, it's an attempt to dehumanise the white race in preparation for genocide.

- Octonauts - a good wholesome show, with an almost exclusively white, male set of characters. There is a hispanic penguin, called "Paso" or some such, but he is depicted correctly as a weaker, inferior character to his white superiors, Captain Barnacles and Quasi. Unlike many out there, we at Kids Show Racism Report do not decry showing other races in television programming at all, that would be to deny the existence of inferior races in our society, which would itself be racist.

I don't care what you think about me, but saying that I am going to defend him on any of the above points - the same points I have been ragging on him over for more than a year - is just plain insulting.

Maybe you should focus less on who that person might be and more on what he/she had to say? Just sayin'.

So, trolling an old guy to make him look bad, got it.

Quite frankly, it was his sheer unwillingness to back down on a nonsensical view (e.g. equating selling proprietary software to "crime against humanity") that puts himself into such awkward situations. He has no one to blame for the resulting embarrassment except himself.

Stallman is a crazy liberal, he's concerned with young people (not kids) who are in love, but must hide it and he - in a proper autistic manner - ignores the much more prevalent case of emotional exploitation.

I am not sure if you are one of the same trolls who constantly flood this place with off-topic posts for yucks, but one thing I am sure is that you don't even have the intelligence to understand the basic responsibilities of an adult and why it is inappropriate for someone who is supposed to know better to interfer with the emotional development of a youngster.

Pretending IBM is the only company that dealt with the Nazis, or the only company that knew what went on is ridiculous - all western industry supported Germany, sometimes even after the war started and they all knew about Nazi policies.

The point here is not about whether IBM alone should be held accountable for genocide. It was never part of the argument - not from Edwin Black and certainly not from Pogson's detractors. Granted, IBM was not the only corporation that participated in Hitler's Final Solution, but denying that they were well aware of the situation of the time by refusing to acknowledge the proven fact their punch card system was a tool tailored for the mass murder campagin is simply dishonest and disrespectful to those who have suffered in the tragedy.

Nice trolling on the earthquake thing except for the part of where there was a press conference where they said there was "no danger". The issue wasn't failing to predict the earthquake, but negligence due to their public statement.

Maybe you should focus less on who that person might be and more on what he/she had to say? Just sayin'.

Says the nametard. If you really believed that why do you need to post using a name? Your message is all that is importamt, right? You won't actually do so because you're really just an attention-whoring faggot.

Oh for god sakes, it seems patents are nigh on useless. What is the point in innovating when some asshole company can just copy your every move without the R&D costs. What a stupid world we appear to live in.

Says the nametard. If you really believed that why do you need to post using a name?

I have posted as "Anonymous" here as well. Not that you could tell if it was me or someone else, though, or that I can stop you from bluffing about having the nonexistent ability of so.

You won't actually do so because you're really just an attention-whoring faggot.

Really? And what would be the benefit of that by any chance? I am pretty sure there wouldn't be anything to earn except loud-mouth idiots like you going bonkers over a name.

I only care about having a handle that people can easily recognise and reply to (and throw verbal abuses at for yucks), which you are actively undermining for reasons that are only known to yourself and no one else. I am sorry, but you can't force the world to have everything your way.

IOW, why go back and post anything else when Pogson has already shown himself as a complete and total lunatic.

Stallman is a crazy liberal, he's concerned with young people (not kids) who are in love

No, he's concerned that young people are not becoming brainwashed into the FOSS cult.

in a proper autistic manner - ignores the much more prevalent case of emotional exploitation.

No, RMS feels that its okay to bugger children ... as long as they agree to be buggered.

Pretending IBM is the only company that dealt with the Nazis

Again, you completely miss the point Faggy Toaster. The point being made is that Pogson is willing to ignore IBM's history of shifting of moral goal posts but not Microsoft's because they don't support FOSS. IBM is simply the company that comes up as an example. No one here has said that IBM was the only company.

Irrelevant.

Completely relevant. It's a great example of the complete irrational contempt and response from a zealot.

Very rarely do people care about such government regulation, it's made by ignorant bureaucrats who usually don't have a clue about what they are regulating

Which is why we turn to you for your expertise in such matters, cause your all smart and stuff.

Seriously Faggy, if the oven is on right now, see if your head will fit in it. You may cure whatever ills you. It's worth a try.

I have posted as "Anonymous" here as well. Not that you could tell if it was me or someone else, though, or that I can stop you from bluffing about having the nonexistent ability of so.

LMAO. Except for the part where we totally fucking called those anonymous posts as you (or one of the other pedantic nametards).

It seems, for whatever reason, that you and JoeMonco (assuming you're different people, probably not) view things as black/white and are unable to comprehend context, the IBM and Pogs thing is a prime example.

So, we may not be able to tell it's you from a single post or trivial discussion, but the moment you start twisting arguments, seeing things as black/white issues only or not being able to comprehend context we call it every, single, time.

Maybe you'll be able to fool us by adjusting your attitudes and the way you process the arguments other people make; I for one would welcome that shit, since these are the things that make you so fucking irritating.

And who is this "we" that you are representing? Your split personality? Your imaginary pink elephant friend?

The only thing you are proving here is that you are desperate enough to project your own demons onto everyone you see in order to give yourself some sort of self-validation. You can't even the least tell the difference between two people with fundamentally incompatible opinions - let alone two people with similar tones and mannerism (protip: they are not really all that unique for each individual.)

Didn't I also tell you that I have been engaging Pogson in debates for over a year? Here's what you can do to prove your case: identify all the handles I have used there to evade bans. You won't get any price for it, but I can certainly have a laugh at you trying to validate your nonexistence ability to identify me from amongst all the comments there.

I am also will to go as far as to saying you used to have a handle here at one point, but then eventually people learned to associate it with pure horsecrap, so you decided to abandon it and and take every opportunity you could get to get back at those who had pointed out the stupid things you said. It certainly explains why you are so deperate to put what's obviously not my opinion into my mouth.

Unlike you who presses F5 in a frenzy to defend your incoherent posts, there are more than one anon - I know, what a concept huh?

you are desperate enough to project your own demons onto everyone

Demons? You're such a drama queen.

Didn't I also tell you that I have been engaging Pogson in debates for over a year?

Ha ha, what do you think this is, a union seniority debate? Anyway, I personally don't care if you've been cleaning Pogson's cock in between kernel rebuilds, my point is you miss the point several times (e.g. IBM, RMS's child diddling stance).

Here's what you can do to prove your case-

Uh no Faggy, I've already proven my point. You posted one of your rants that totally missed the point of the original argument and you are now attempting a sad and pathetic redirection.

I am also will to go as far as to saying you used to have a handle here at one point, but then eventually people learned to associate it with pure horsecrap, so you decided to abandon it and and take every opportunity you could get to get back at those who had pointed out the stupid things you said

Unlike you who presses F5 in a frenzy to defend your incoherent posts, there are more than one anon

Whom you do not represent and has no way to deduce the number of - I know, what a concept huh?

my point is you miss the point several times

And what point would it be except the same points from me at Pogson's blog that you have regurgitated?

Uh no Faggy, I've already proven my point.

Again, all you have proved is that you are desperate enough to try whatever shoddy tactics and preposterous bluffs you can get your hands on to get back on those who have wronged you before. There is simply no meaning in putting opinions that are obviously not mine in my mouth except to defend your excuses to keep this place the troll-infested cesspool of yucks that it is now.

I only care about having a handle that people can easily recognise and reply to (and throw verbal abuses at for yucks), which you are actively undermining for reasons that are only known to yourself and no one else.

Bullshit. You have a handle for attention-whoring. You only registered that handle after we were using it too to mock you. You then got butthurt and registered it. No one here cares about recognizing you and using @time i perfectly enough to know who is being responded to.

Posting irrelevant comments as anon, then posting as a name, shifting arguments, denying you ever posted anything then head back to BM Suppository?

I am sorry, but unless you have any compelling evidence to prove despite the given fact that people here have no trouble even posting under my handle for yucks, I have to call bullcrap on your accusation.

And how does that exactly constitute "attention-whoring", and what does that indicate except a clear intention from your part to undermine on-topic discussions here with underhanded tactics?

But I thought it was just the content of the message that counted, right? Just admit that you're a butthurt, raging nametard that needs attention. It's not like we all don't already know that. The non-butthurt person would have shrugged it off not got butthurt about someone tarnishing their irrelevant online identity.

Whenever someone use the word "fag" or its variants, all I can think of is the random shouting from a bunch of thirteen-year-olds in a FPS game multi-player session. That certainly would not account for all the crap posts here, but it would be a likely factor of crap posts reaching the point of drowning out every meaningful discussion at LHB.

It's not like we all don't already know that. The non-butthurt person would have shrugged it off not got butthurt about someone tarnishing their irrelevant online identity.

And what makes you feel the need to "tarnish" someone reputation in the first place? Does that make your point clearer in a debate? Does that contribute to relevance your posts? As I said, all you are proving here is that you are willing to go as far as to undermining any discussion just for yucks. I don't see how that's going to contribute to LHB overall, or how you are going to improve the quality of the comments with your action here overall.

That's a question I have been asking you about. You certainly have no trouble attributing posts that is clearly not mine to me. Am I supposed to believe now that you are some capable of engaging in a level-headed discussion? I think not.

I'm a Rockstar Hater and LHB is a venue for significant discussion of the suck that is Linux even though Nothing has changed and all of the arguments were won years ago. We still need to Talk Wisely About It In Derogatory Manner Without Mentioning Nigger-Free Code!

Why must you interfere with the purity of my HATRED FOR THE LOONIVERSE!

And you think we care about that, why exactly? No one but you and the TurdRepository gang care about such shit.

Of all places that you can crap over, why choose LHB? Did LH murder your entire family? Or are you afraid of LHB being a hub of negative opinions on Linux and this is just your way to undermine it as such?

If LHB were a house, then you were certainly one nasty tenent.

Because I love your butthurt reactions.

"Butthurt" or not, who on earth love such a thing except unabashed scumbags?

Of all places that you can crap over, why choose LHB? Did LH murder your entire family? Or are you afraid of LHB being a hub of negative opinions on Linux and this is just your way to undermine it as such?

Why do you care what people post here? Is this your blog or something, or do you think you have some rights here?

No one is "crapping on LHB". Your opinion on what LHB should be like is irrelevant. Atop being an over-sensitive pussy.

Or are you afraid of LHB being a hub of negative opinions on Linux and this is just your way to undermine it as such?

Oh shit! I must be part of some grand conspiracy to bring done LHB!!! Run for the hills!!!! Except that I've been here far longer than you have, Twat boy. And no I'm not or claim to be a rockstar hater.

He's definitely got way too much emotional investment in this place. If Linux Hater himself doesn't are what wr say or do why should he? I love how he thinks we're part of some conspiracy plot, though.
